Executive Certificate in Management

What is the ECM?

The Executive Certificate in Management (ECM) targets the educational needs
of prominent industries in Armenia that acknowledge the imperative of building strong management
teams in order to be able to capitalize on opportunities suggested by local and international dynamics
in this sphere. The Program is based on a needs assessment of several key industries in Armenia. Like
most companies with unique competencies that are on a growth pattern, a lot of companies in Armenia
have a model of promoting internal human resources into managerial positions (rather than attracting
managerial personnel from outside). Not surprisingly, employees with high technical capabilities often
lack soft skills. The Certificate aims to help graduates prepare for their career advancement through
developing skills essential for managerial-level positions.

ECM is comprised of 4 x 3-credit courses (12 credits in total), over two semesters (30 weeks).
Classroom teaching will be intensive with two 3-hr-45-min modules per day, yet students will lock only
one weekend per month in their schedules (alternating 2-day and 3-day weekends every next month).
